HvH Photography Academy | Saturday 21st March Documentary Photography Workshop 9am-2pm

Across the morning, students will explore the foundations of documentary photography, from developing a narrative and working with real-world subjects to understanding ethics, intention, and visual consistency. Through guided shooting exercises, discussion, and practical feedback, you’ll learn how to approach a story, anticipate moments, and create images that go beyond single frames.

The course focuses on observation, patience, and authenticity—helping you build confidence in working on location while refining your ability to communicate ideas and emotions through photographs. Suitable for all levels, this workshop encourages personal vision while providing clear tools and techniques you can apply to…
